Oh, sorry I misunderstood. I’m not seeing it either, but I can be a bit obtuse at times. Just ask ransomnote (*wink*)!

Did President Trump Ever Lower the Flag for an Entertainer?

Across both his first term (2017–2021) and his current second term (2025–present):

There is no record of Donald Trump issuing a presidential proclamation to lower the U.S. flag specifically for the death of an entertainer.

This includes:

• Actors

• Musicians

• Comedians

• Athletes

• Media personalities

No proclamation exists in the Federal Register, White House archives, or documented press releases.

Trump has only lowered the flag when the individual held a government role or military role — not for their entertainment career.

Examples:

• John McCain (Senator, also appeared in films) → Flag lowered

• Colin Powell (General, public figure) → Flag lowered

• Rush Limbaugh (entertainer/commentator) → No flag‑lowering proclamation

• Toby Keith (musician, close to Trump) → No flag‑lowering proclamation

• Alex Trebek, Kobe Bryant, Aretha Franklin, Jimmy Buffett, etc. → No flag‑lowering proclamation
